hi - I've been running a copy of windows live messenger on my e71 successfully for over a year - the other day (and no, I hadn't run any updates recently) I tried to use it and found the icon has just vanished! - it was still listed in App. Mgr. as "installed" but there was no icon anywhere, not in "installations" etc. etc. i updated the phone firmware, uninstalled in app.mgr reinstalled etc. etc. tried different .sis no joy at all - any ideas? it's almost if it's being hidden - is there some app I can use to see the icon location of installed apps?

Cheers

The settings on the E71 are the problem. Reset the E71. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings.

thanks for your help, but REALLY? REFORMAT??!!! That will take ages to put all my settings back.... is there anything like a more advanced applications manager for S60???

i had a prblem before with bloomberg. i installed it to the mem card and then uninstalled and then again to the phone mem and then it worked. when i installed it on the phone mem at the start i would see it as installed but no icon. i dont think a reformat is the first thing you should do. i would leave the battery, sim and mem card out overnight and see if there is any change in the morning. i would also think hard to try other things before i would reformatt. in the past, i reformatted many times and it would usually not solve the issue.
